About Tommy
Tommy Fletcher is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in New Mexico with a decade of professional counseling experience.
Background and approach
He works with adults and teens on a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related problems, self-esteem, depression, addictions, relationship and family challenges, grief, eating and sleeping issues, career transitions, and compassion fatigue.
Additional attention is given to matters such as adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric concerns, blended family dynamics, body image, codependency, communication and commitment issues, and coping with disasters or major life changes. His approach centers on recognizing clients as the experts in their own lives and building on existing strengths to shift unhelpful beliefs and patterns.
He draws from evidence-informed methods including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy to tailor interventions to individual needs. Tommy’s background includes many years of social work roles and experience connected to the legal system, which inform his practical and collaborative style.
He offers daytime and evening appointments Monday through Thursday and encourages people to take the courageous step of starting therapy.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors. It is often used for anxiety, depression, stress, and many everyday challenges by teaching practical skills to manage symptoms and improve functioning.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and build psychological flexibility by accepting difficult emotions rather than avoiding them and committing to actions that align with personal goals. This approach can be useful for coping with ongoing stress, grief, and life transitions.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining elements from CBT, ACT, or client-centered techniques so the plan evolves as progress is made.
Online sessions can take place through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend therapy from varied locations, fit sessions into daytime or evening hours, and maintain continuity when life becomes busy or unpredictable.
